Njengoba sisondela kuSuku lukaNelson Mandela, elongoMgqibelo mhlaka 18, izwe lonke liyakhunjuzwa ngomkhankaso wokunikela imizuzu engu-67 ukwenza okuhle emphakathini, ukuhlonipha iminyaka engu-67 uMadiba ayichitha elwela inkululeko, ubulungiswa nokulingana. Kodwa namuhla sifuna ukubuza umbuzo ohlukile. Sekuyisikhathi eside sivame ukukhononda ngokuthi izinto azihambi kahle emiphakathini yethu. Namuhla sifuna ukuzwa kuwena ngodaba lwakho noma lomuntu omaziyi osewayeka ukukhononda, wanquma ukuba yingxenye yoshintsho, futhi iluphi lolushintsho?

Namhlanje sixoxa ngendaba ebalulekile kubalimi abaningi, ikakhulukazi labo abagcina izinkomo emakhaya kodwa abangakaziguquli zibe umthombo wemali oqhubekayo.  Abanye bazifuyela ukuzigcina nje, kanti abanye bazithengisa kuphela uma kunezimo eziphuthumayo. Kodwa umbuzo uthi, singazenza kanjani izinkomo zibe yibhizinisi elinenzuzo elidala amathuba omnotho emindenini yethu?  Ukuze siphendule le mibuzo, sixoxisana nochwepheshe kwezokufuya nokweluleka abalimi, ozosichazela izindlela ezingasiza abalimi abancane nabasafufusa ukuthi bakhulise inzuzo emabhizinisini abo emfuyo.

Isikhathi sokuqondisa amabhuku akho entela sesifikile, kanti kubantu abaningi lokhu kuletha imibuzo eminingi. Namuhla sizoxoxa nomgcini mabhuku, nocwepheshe kwezentela ukuze asisize siqonde kahle yonke le nqubo, futhi anikeze nezeluleko ezizokwenza kube lula kubakhokhintela kulo nyaka.

Baningi abantu baseNingizimu Afrika asebake bacabanga ukuthi impilo yabo ingaba njani uma bengathola ithuba lokuyohlala noma lokuyosebenza kwelinye izwe. Abanye bagqugquzelwa amathuba emisebenzi, amaholo angcono, imfundo esezingeni eliphezulu, ukuphepha, noma ukufuna ukubona nokufunda amasiko ahlukene. Kulengosi sibuza umlaleli ukuthi uma ubunganikwa ithuba lokuyohlala noma lokuyosebenza kwelinye izwe, ubungakhetha liphi izwe, futhi kungani? 

Izinkundla zokuxhumana seziyinxenye yempilo yethu yansuku zonke. Sabelana ngemibono, izindaba, izithombe namavidiyo kuFacebook, kuTikTok, ku-X, ku-Instagram nakuWhatsApp. Kodwa-ke, inkululeko yokukhuluma ihamba nomthwalo wokusebenzisa lezinkundla ngendlela efanele. Kulengosi sizoxoxa ngokuthi umthetho uthini ngokuhlambalaza omunye umuntu ezinkundleni zokuxhumana, nokuthi singazivikela kanjani ngaphambi kokuthi sicofe u-“post”, u-“share” noma u-“forward”. Ukuze sisisize siqonde kabanzi ngalolu daba, sihlangene nesazi sezomthetho.

Kulengosi sizoxoxa ngobuhle nobubi bokufaka izicelo zomsebenzi online, nokuthi umuntu ongasebenzi angawandisa kanjani amathuba okuphumelela. Ukuze asisize ukuqonda kabanzi ngalolu daba, sihlangene nochwepheshe kwezokuthuthukiswa kwemisebenzi.

Kwesinye isikhathi, lapho sesibhekene nalezi zinselelo, siyazithola sesithi,“Yho, manje sengiyabona ukuthi umama noma ubaba wayezama ukungivikela”. “Ngiyabona ukuthi leyo mithetho yayingeyona eyokungicindezela, kodwa yayenzelwe ukungakha.” Kulengosi sifuna ukuzwa kuwe udaba lwakho lokuqonda kangcono abazali bakho ngenxa yokuthi nawe usunomntwana. 

Inyanga kaNtulikazi igujwa njengeNyanga Yamadoda eNingizimu Afrika. Yisikhathi sokubungaza iqhaza elibalulekile elibanjwa amadoda emindenini, emphakathini nasekukhuliseni isizwe. Enye yezindima ezibaluleke kakhulu owesilisa angaba nazo yileyo yokuba ubaba. Namuhla sifuna ukuxoxa nobaba abakhethe ukuba khona empilweni yezingane zabo, siphinde sikhuthaze nalabo abangasekho empilweni yezingane zabo ukuthi basukume babuye bazodlala indima yabo. Sifuna ukuzwa kuwe: Ukuba ubaba kuyiguqule kanjani impilo yakho yaba ngcono?

Isikhathi sokuqondisa amabhuku akho entela sesifikile, kanti kubantu abaningi lokhu kuletha imibuzo eminingi. Namuhla sixoxa nomgcini mabhuku, nocwepheshe kwezentela ukuze asisize siqonde kahle yonke le nqubo, futhi anikeze nezeluleko ezizokwenza kube lula kubakhokhintela kulo nyaka.

Ukukhubazeka akusho ukuphela kwamaphupho, kodwa kungaba yisiqalo sendlela eya empumelelweni. Namuhla sixoxa nomculi weHip-Hop neR&B, uKalvin Rhythm, ophila nokukhubazeka futhi osebenzisa umculo wakhe ukukhuthaza nokufakazela ukuthi ikhono alibheki isimo somzimba.

Ubuholi abuqali uma usuphatha abantu noma usuphethe isikhundla esikhulu. Buqala ngendlela ozihola ngayo wena uqobo, ezinqumweni ozenzayo, ekuziphatheni kwakho, nasekuzimiseleni.  Noma ngabe ungumfundi, uyasebenza, ufuna umsebenzi noma unebhizinisi, ukuzihola kahle kungaba yisisekelo sempumelelo yakho.  Namuhla sixoxa nomqeqeshi wobuholi, uMabongi Khoza, ukuze siqonde ukuthi kusho ukuthini ukuzihola nokuthi singakwenza kanjani kube yingxenye yempilo yethu yansuku zonke.

Abantu abaningi bachitha isikhathi esiningi emsebenzini kunesikhathi abasichitha nemindeni yabo. Yingakho indawo yokusebenza esizithola kuyo iba nomthelela omkhulu empilweni yethu yengqondo, ukuzethemba, ukusebenza kahle, kanye nempilo yethu yonke. Wazi kanjani ukuthi indawo yakho yokusebenza, isiko lakhona lingcolile, futhi yini engenziwa abaqashi kanye nabasebenzi ukuze kwakhiwe isiko lapho abantu bengakhula khona futhi baphumelele ngempela?

Ezolimo azisafani nezakudala. Namuhla ubuchwepheshe sebungene kakhulu emapulazini nasemasimini. Kodwa umbuzo uthi, ingabe lobu buchwepheshe buyatholakala nakubalimi abasafufusa, futhi bungabasiza kanjani bakhe amabhizinisi ezolimo aphumelelayo?  Ukuze sikhulume kabanzi ngalokhu, sixoxa nochwepheshe kwezolimo, uBongani Mdletshe.

Namhlanje ku-Disability 360 sihleli noThulani Ndimande, uthisha, umkhankaseli wamalungelo abantu abaphila nokukhubazeka kanye nombhali wencwadi ethi Izigaba Ezine Zokuphila Ngokukhubazeka.

Namuhla ku-Disability 360 sixoxa naye ngohambo lwakhe.

Imibhikisho eyenzeka ezweni lonke ayigcini ngokudonsa amehlo abantu baseNingizimu Afrika kuphela, kodwa iphinde ibhekwe ngeso elibukhali emazweni ase-Afrika nasemhlabeni wonke. Njengoba lolu daba luthinta abantu bokufika, ubudlelwano phakathi kwamazwe kanye nesithombe seNingizimu Afrika emazweni omhlaba, abaningi bayazibuza ukuthi amazwe angomakhelwane kanye nemiphakathi yabantu base-Afrika abahlala kwamanye amazwe bakuthatha kanjani okwenzeka kuleli.   Namuhla sixoxa nochwepheshe kwezobudlelwano bamazwe ngamazwe, uWandile Msomi, ukuze asisize siqonde ukuthi le mibhikisho ingaba namuphi umthelela ebudlelwaneni beNingizimu Afrika namanye amazwe ase-Afrika, kanye nokuthi umphakathi wamazwe ngamazwe usabela kanjani kulezi zenzakalo.

Ukuboshwa kungaba yisikhathi esethusayo nesididayo, ikakhulukazi uma umuntu engawazi amalungelo nezibopho zakhe ngaphansi komthetho.

Ukuboleka imali kungasiza umuntu afeze izinhloso zakhe, kodwa kubalulekile ukuthi kwenziwe ngendlela efanele. UMthetho Kazwelonke Wezikweletu uhlose ukuvikela kokubili umthengi nomhlinzeki wesikweletu, uqinisekise ukuthi izikweletu zinikezwa kuphela kubantu abakwazi ukuzikhokha.  Namuhla sizoxoxa ngodaba olubalulekile olubizwa ngokuthi isikweletu esinikezwe budedengu, phecelezi ireckless credit, amalungelo abathengi, izibopho zabahlinzeka ngezikweletu, kanye nezinyathelo okufanele zithathwe ukugwema izingxabano.
